This special annual reading initiative, the DONALD OWENS READING CHALLENGE, is more than a program — it’s a celebration of curiosity, imagination, and lifelong learning. It invites readers of all ages to slow down, turn the page, and rediscover the joy that books bring to our daily lives.

Why It Matters
Why It Matters
Reading strengthens our minds, expands our perspectives, and connects us to stories beyond our own. Whether you prefer mysteries, biographies, fantasy adventures, or inspiring nonfiction, every book completed is a step toward growth — and toward honoring someone whose love of reading left a lasting impression on our library community.

Hello,
I am pleased to introduce myself as the new Interim Director of the

My professional background includes experience in youth services, adult services, and readers’ advisory at both the Bethlehem Area Public Library and the Western Pocono Community Library. I look forward to sharing this experience while learning from our patrons and community partners.
I anticipate a wonderful time ahead filled with reading, learning, community outreach and shared connection at the Slatington Public Library.

Our library is now resource-sharing with Allentown, Bethlehem, Easton, Bangor, and Monroe County. That's good news for us! Resource-sharing opens up the world of library collections to library patrons, enabling them to request whatever they want or need. It saves libraries money by reducing the need to purchase materials; libraries share them with each other instead. And our members still have access to all the libraries in our consortium without ever leaving Slatington!
